I don't think magic damage will help your armor skills, the best way I've found is to either use a very poor quality weapon or a weapon enchanted to heal the target when it hits, then just pick your fights with non-diseased opponents and beat on each other for a while to increase both your weapon skill and your armor skill. Hand-to-hand fighting will only increase your armor when they damage your health, not your fatigue, so it's best to fight critters, skeleton warriors or low level smugglers (or anything else along those lines). When you get better or can heal yourself well enough you can let better opponents beat on you for a while, since they hit more frequently it'll take less time.

Hope that helps.
